BACKGROUND

The production of silicone compounds and organic phosphorus containing compounds are well known in the arts. The utilization of silicon-phosphorus and halide reaction products to produce novel silicon-phosphorus halide compounds and novel organic silicon-phosphorus compositions, polymers and products is new. These compounds, polymers and products have many uses such as reactants to produce novel compound and plastics, as a flame-retardant in plastics, as a lubricant, hydraulic fluid, adhesive, coating agent, rust inhibitor, building material, insulation, sound proofing and many other uses.

The object of this invention is to provide silicon-phosphorus halide compositions which are utilized to produce silicon-phosphorus halides, organic silicon-phosphorus compounds, polymers and products.

SUMMARY

The invention comprises silicon-phosphorus halides reaction compositions and their reaction products with organic and/or inorganic compounds. Another aspect of the invention is a process to produce silicon and phosphorus halide reaction compound; and the process to react these compounds with organic and/or inorganic compounds to produce organic silicon-phosphorus halides and organic silicon-phosphorus compositions which utilizes the following components:

(A) silicon compound;

(B) phosphorus compound;

(C) halide compound.

Components A, B and C are reacted to produce silicon-phosphorus halide compounds which is then reacted with

(D) optionally, an organic compound;

(E) optionally, a basic salt forming compound

(F) optionally, water;

to produce organic silicon-phosphorus halide compounds and/or an organic silicon-phosphorus product. The sequence of the addition of the Components A, B, C, D, E and F may be greatly varied depending on the end product desired. In the production silicon and phosphorus halide reaction compounds, the halide may be reacted separately with the silicon compound, and separately with the phosphorus compound then the silicon halide reaction compounds, are mixed with the phosphorus halide reaction compounds then reacted with an organic compound to produce an organic silicon-phosphorus halide composition, which is then reacted with more organic and/or inorganic compounds to produce organic silicon-phosphorus products.

In another process the silicon compound may be mixed with the phosphorus compound, then reacted with a halide compound to produce a composition of silicon halides, phosphorus halides and silicon-phosphorus halide compounds which are then reacted with an organic compound. In another method the halide compound is reacted with an organic compound, and then reacted with a mixture of silicon and phosphorus compounds to produce an organic-silicon-phosphorus halide composition and/or organic silicon-phosphorus products. In another method the organic compound may be reacted with a halide, to produce an organic halide which is then reacted with a metal compound (Grignard reagent), then reacted with the mixture of silicon halides, phosphorus halides and silicon-phosphorus halides to produce organic silicon-phosphorus halides or organic silicon-phosphorus products. In another method component E, a metal, may be reacted with an organic compound, to produce a metal compound which is then reacted with the reaction product of components A, B and C to produce an organic silicon-phosphorus halide and/or an organic silicon-phosphorus composition.

The organic silicon-phosphorus halide composition may be reacted with water or another organic compound or a metal organic compound or a Grignard reagent to produce organic silicon-phosphorus compositions. In another method, an organic tri or dichlorosilane may be mixed with phosphorus halide and an organic compound to produce an organic silicon-phosphorus composition.

Preferably, the phosphorus compound and silicon compound are mixed then reacted with a halide to produce a mixture of silicon halides, phosphorus halides and silicon-phosphorus halides which are then reacted with an organic compound. Another very suitable method is to react the halide with the silicon and phosphorus compounds separately then mix the two together, and then react the mixture with organic compounds.

The silicon tetrahalide, phosphorus trihalide and silicon-phosphorus halide composition may also be produced by mixing powder silica, phosphorus and carbon or a metal such as magnesium, then heating the mixture to a high enough temperature in an electric furnace to where the carbon combines with the oxygen and a mixture of silicon phosphorus, phosphorus and silicon is produced, then an excess of halogen is passed thru the hot mixture thereby producing a composition containing silicon tetrahalide, silicon-phosphorus halides, phosphorus trihalide and phosphorus pentahalide. The phosphorus is commercially produced from a mixture of calcium, phosphate, silica and carbon, by heating the mixture. Phosphorus is recovered by distillation.

The phosphorus trihalide, silicon-phosphorus halide and silicon tetrahalide composition may be modified by the addition of water in the amount of 1-2 mols to one mol of phosphorus trihalide to produce a silicon-phosphorus oxyhalides composition. This mixture may also be modified by the addition of phosphorus pentaoxide in the amount of about 1 to 2 mol of phosphorus pentaoxide to 6 mols of phosphorus trihalide thereby producing a silicon-phosphorus oxyhalides composition.

An excess of water may be utilized if desired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The mixture of the components of this invention may take place in any suitable physical condition. Ambient pressure is usually satisfactory except when a gas compound is used, then it may be necessary to compress the gas until it is in the form of a liquid. In reacting the halides with silicon and phosphorus an elevated temperature is usually necessary. Silicon will react with dry chlorine at about 200°-300° C. and phosphorus will react with chlorine when in a molting stage. Temperatures up to 700° is required for phosgene to react with silicon to form silicon tetrachloride. The temperature may range from ambient temperature to 800° C. In some reactions to produce organic silicon-phosphorus halides compositions and organic silicon-phosphorus compositions it is necessary to cool the reaction mixture and in others it is necessary to use elevated temperature.

When a mixture of silicon and phosphorus is being reacted with a halide it is preferable for the silicon and phosphorus to be in a powdered form and heated to between the molting and boiling temperature of phosphorus, then dry halide gas is passed thru the hot powder. An excess of halides may be use, but at least 4 mols of halide for each mol of phosphorus should be used. Elevated temperature may be needed when an organic compound is reacted with the mixture of silicon halide, phosphorus halide and silicon-phosphorus halides and also when the organic silicon-phosphorus halides composition are reacted with other organic compounds but most of the reactions are exothermic.

In general, the liquid silicon-phosphorus halides, silicon halide and phosphorus halide mixture, produced form a mixture of silicon, phosphorus and halides contains about 7 mols of halide for 1 mol of silicon and one mol of phosphorus; whereby the valences available for further bonding is 7. There is some bonding between the silicon and phosphorus atoms which reduces the valences available for further bonding but the mixture may also contain phosphorus pentahalide. Bridging of the silicon moiety with the phosphorus moiety is represented by the corresponding hyphen in the compound nomenclature.

Any suitable amount of silicon compound may be mixed with phosphorus compound depending on the type of compounds desired. The amount of silicon may range from 1 part by weight to 100 parts by weight whereas the amount of phosphorus may range from 1 to 100 parts by weight. An excess of halides are used to pass thru the powdered mixture of silicon and phosphorus. When hydrogen chloride is utilized to react with silicon then 3 or 4 mols of hydrogen chloride are utilized for each mol of silicon to produce hydrogen silicon chlorides, hydrogen and silicon tetrachloride. The amount of halides needed depends on the ratio of silicon to phosphorus.

The ratio of organic compounds to that of the mixture of silicon halides, phosphorus halides and silicon-phosphorus halides may greatly depend on the composition or product desired. In the production of organic silicon-phosphorus halides composition the amount of organic compound utilized would depend on the amount of halide radical that was to be left on the organic silicon-phosphorus compound; in general one mol of the organic compound would be used for each halide atom present on the silicon-phosphorus halides, silicon halides and phosphorus halides molecules. In the production of organic silicon-phosphorus products sufficient organic molecules are utilized to equal the atoms of halides present on the organic silicon-phosphorus halides compound. Suitable amount of organic compound may range from up to 300 parts by weight.

A basic salt forming compound may be utilized to react with an organic compound to form an organic metal compound or an organic magnesium halide (Grignard reagent), and utilized to react with the silicon tetrahalide silicon-phosphorus halide and phosphorus trihalides mixture to produce organic silicon-phosphorus products. One mol of the Grignard reagent will react with one halide radical present in the organic silicon-phosphorus halide molecule.

In the production of polyurethane by the process of this invention, polyurethane and polyisocyanate catalyst and foam regulators may be utilized along with blowing agents. Flame retardants may be utilized in the production of plastic and foam product produced by this process. Free radical initiators along with their initiators may be utilized when needed in the polymerization of unsaturated compounds.

The organic silicon-phosphorus product of this invention may be further reacted with inorganic or organic compounds. When unsaturated radicals are present they may be reacted with other unsaturated organic radical by use of heat, ultra violet light or free radical initiators to form polymers. When the organic silicon-phosphorus products have one or more active hydrogens, halides or metal radicals it may be further reacted with compounds such as isocyanate, polyisocyanates, epoxides, polyepoxides, organic metal compounds, organic acid halides, polycarbolic acids, polycarboxylic anhydrides, etc.

The organic silicon-phosphorus halides composition may be reacted with water to produce organic silicon-phosphorus polymer products. The water may be added in the amount of one mol of water to one mol of halide radical present at one time, then after the reaction is complete another mol is added until all the halide radicals have reacted with water to produce hydrogen halide. An excess of water may also be added at one time. The method used depends on the products desired.

The exact formula for the compounds and products produced in this invention is not known but there is a mixture of compounds produced when the halides react with a mixture of the silicon compounds and phosphorus compounds. The liquid mixture contains silicon halides, phosphorus halides (tri and penta halides) and silicon-phosphorus halides. This mixture contains compounds of the general formulae of: ##STR2## and other formulae depending on the ratio of Si to P. X is a halogen atom selected from the group consisting of chlorine, fluorine, bromide and iodine.

The silicon-phosphorus halide may also be produced by mixing powdered silicon dioxide, phosphorus oxides and carbon in a closed vessel which is vented. The mixture is heated until the carbon reacts with the oxygen in the silicon dioxide and phosphorus oxides to form CO thereby producing a silicon-phosphorus composition, then a dry gaseous halide is passed thru the hot silicon-phosphorus composition until a silicon-phosphorus halide composition is produced.

The ratio of the essential reactants and optional reactants with lead to the production of silicon-phosphorus containing compound and compositions of this invention may vary broadly speaking, with ranges as follows:

A. 1 to 100 parts by weight of silicon compound;

B. 1 to 100 parts by weight of phosphorus compound;

C. 4 mols or more of halide for each mol of Si and 3 to 5 mols of halide for each mol of P; an excess of halide may be utilized;

D. up to 300 parts by weight of organic compound;

E. up to 100 parts by weight of a basic salt forming compound;

F. up to 200 parts by weight of water.
